History of Photojournalism
When I think of photojournalism, the first thing that comes to my mind is capturing the right moment. Moments that clearly show actions speak louder than words. Photojournalism is a special way of communication that allows us to visualize what has actually occurred. It's as if a story is being told in front of us without actually having to say anything. Growing up, whenever the Sunday paper would come to my house, the first section I would go to is the sports section. At the time it wasn't really the statistics that interested me but the images of icons such as David Ortiz hitting a big home run, Zdeno Chara from the Boston Bruins lifting the Stanley Cup, or even a picture of the bench of my favorite professional teams. It was something about those pictures in particular that just by looking at that photo you could tell the mood and the emotions running in it. Photojournalism has a special impact on the world as it allows the world to capture those important moments that will be remembered forever.
